There is a version called MacMan published by Softstream.  The game
itself is a pretty straightforward Pac Man clone.

HOWEVER!  This has got to be the most insulting game of all time.  When
you quit the game, the last thing you see is a graphic which says, ``To
get your *own* version of MacMan, contact'' and gives the address of the
publisher.  This is on legitimately bought copies of the game.  They're
so sure that you're going to pirate the game that they accuse you of it
right off the bat.

Sorry guys, this just rubs me the wrong way.
